East Margaree

One thing about the people up here, they're super talkative. In the bank they chat, as they're walking out of the restaurant they stop. Everyone here is bilingual. They switch back and forth from person to person. I don't think the two mix at all like Creole or "spanglish".

This is the Belle View restaurant. The landscape around it is stupendous. However, from in here you can't see it!

I'm trying to kill time until the whale watch at 5. I showed up promptly at 8:50 for the first boat and they said we need 5 more and it ain't gonna happen. Again, I'm here 6 weeks before tourist season. I did a search for "movie theater" and there's only one on the island, in the city 90 min from here.

I wish I hadn't paid for 2 nights in advance. The ferry tomorrow isn't like jumping on a bus, it has a security check-in damn thing, so I have to check in at the latest 2 hours before leaving. So I need to leave good and early tomorrow. Sure wish I was a lot closer now, don't want to get lost or something stupid like that.

Lunch was a meat pie. I've seen that on signs so maybe a cultural thing. It was primarily tuna fish, but was a light fish flavor and the cranberry sauce adds a loud zap of flavor on top.Read more
